Owner info

Year Purchased: 2005

About the owner: My husband and I have lived overseas 21 years (now living in Stavanger, Norway). We bought the Banana Cabana to serve as our home away from home when we visited and fell in love with South Padre Island in 2005. When I am not using the home myself, we occasionally rent the house to select clientele who, we feel, will take care of and respect our property.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes: Since the Banana Cabana has been my home away from home for years, it is extremely well stocked -- much more than most rentals you will ever come across. When I am staying there, I entertain friends often, so you will find extras such as pretty pewter serving pieces, two - not one - mixers (stand & hand), large griddle for pancakes, etc., 20+ pieces of brightly-colored cast-iron outdoor furniture, gas grill (xtra propane bottle) and conventional BBQ grill, Cuisinart Food Processor, Blender...see the full list on the details page.

The Unique Benefits at this House: Although only 3/10 mile (5-min walk) from the beach, the Banana Cabana is 1/2 blk from the bay (nice view from back deck!). We are located on a quiet dead-end street - perfect for families with children. Our pool & back yard face the south, so you have a full day of warm sunshine as well as a large covered area.
